This And That

Mr. Cardinal. I've been watching him feed Mrs. Cardinal this week. Love is in the air. So sweet.

There were a lot of spring 'firsts' this week. No jackets, green grass, leaf buds on the trees, ...and thunderstorms, just to name a few.

I turned on the back porch light last night and this is what I saw. Little sick feral kitty. I'm getting close to getting him in that carrier! I touched his head today and got a big hiss. That's hiss...not kiss. ha. A couple of weeks ago he didn't have the energy to hiss. He's still sick but not as weak or starving.

If you like Royal Winton Chintz China, I listed a boat load of it in my shop today. No really, a boat load! ha.

Golly ~ I might be first . . . lolGlad Peaches is getting used to you. Perhaps he will trust you completely soon.Poor little thing It's not as though you can explain to him you want to get him better . . . ~ I would certainly not give you a hiss !! lol

Just love the shot of that Cardinal . . . and love in the air ~ lucky blighter . . . lolLove the shot of Velvet on the swing . . . :)

it honestly breaks my heart to see animals abandoned, he's lucky to have found you,, maybe this one will be a survivor , our daughter Kelly finally brought in the stray she has been feeding all winter. He has made himself quite at home, like he always had been with them, it took time and patience but all is well, saving one at a time,, sometimes thats all you can do.

Peaches wants to come inside but can't let him until he's well.....I'm sure he's contagious and don't want him sharing our water/food bowls. He's coming more often, though, so I'm excited at the possibility of getting him to the vet. Your Kelly and I would get along very well, I think. ha.

Ah, to be a cat on a porch swing - that's the life! I am glad Peachy alias Peaches alias poor little kitty is getting more tame. Look how his sweet paws are tucked under. Any day now! The boys look very summery! It's not that warm here yet. Although the temperature sort of indicates it might be - there is a bite in the air. It is very windy and gloomy and thunder and lighting. I happen to enjoy the thunder and lightning part! The wind and gloom I can do without.I am in LOVE with this chintz pattern and all the pieces in your shop. I would love to buy it all up in a snap... where is my lottery ticket!? :-)

Peaches just looked so sweet laying there like that. ha. It was slightly too chilly not to wear a jacket in the morning but it warmed up to 70 in the afternoon so I didn't make them wear one. ha. The wind has died down here this evening....blue sky, too!

Supposed to finally warm up here soonThat is fine by this loonNot sure we'll enjoy a swingBut maybe we'll go have a fling lolWell if he can hiss that is a good signHopefully you'll catch him soon and he'll be a fit as a fiddle feline

Aw. Sweet little Peaches. He's softening up. As far as the hiss, Oliver, my cat of almost 16 years, hissed me his entire life, even though he was treated like a king. Just be sure to wear some kind of heavy protection on your hands and arms when you "introduce" him to the carrier. Oliver bit and scratched me so many times, I can't help but wonder if that was the origin of the lymphoma I have now. Lynne in NC

He is softening up! I haven't had a hissing cat here before except when Velvet had a new litter, but hers was all show, I think. That Oliver sounds like he was a frisky little thing! haha. Peaches looks pretty good in that photo...almost too good. I took a closeup of his face just after that and it's almost too gruesome to post...not for the squeamish! All that yucky drainage. But I'm encouraged....he's coming around at a good pace...not long now! Getting him hydrated has made a huge difference in his looks!

Love is in the air... I watched Mr. Cardinal feed Mrs. Cardinal ever so sweetly this week. melted my heart. =) Glad the sick little feral kitty is getting close to a vet visit. Yea, for no coats!! and green... and blossoms.. =) blessings ~ tanna

Your swing looks so inviting, apparently someone else has the same idea :)Love the Cardinals, and right now they are everywhere in the garden !Sweet boy Peaches, he seems to be coming around to you....not long now.~Jo

I think Velvet has the right idea- just hanging out on the porch...of course I'd have to be swinging just a bit to make it perfect. Hey- I need some sweet tea!! I hope your visiting cat accepts you completely soon. It makes me so sad to see kitties running around with no one to care for them. Have a great weekend!

My heart goes out to the kitty. I bet you do get it tamed. They just don't understand how much that they need help. We have a couple that show up for free food that are in such bad shape and warmer weather will help them.

Poor kitty. Reminds me a little of some of those folks at the nursing home who have "hissed" at me. (Not that I'm patting them on the head or anything...) Love the girl with the red bird on her head. I hope the bird is kind to her and doesn't decide to mess up her hair.ha ha!:0)

About Me

The Details ~

I'm a midwestern girl looking on the bright side, even while surrounded by five men, autism, a variety of pets, and a mountain of laundry. True life is more entertaining than fiction and every day is an adventure here. I'm trying to hone my photography skills, keep a home based business running, round up the neighborhood feral cats to be fixed, and help my triplets with autism be all that they can be. You can't survive without having a sense of humor or appreciating the beauty all around us, so I notice things and I laugh a lot. Thanks for visiting!

Magical moments exist around us if we only look through a different lens.

"Fight for us, O God, that we not drift numb and blind and foolish into vain and empty excitements. Life is too short, too precious, too painful to waste on worldly bubbles that burst. Heaven is too great, hell is too horrible, eternity is too long that we should putter around on the porch of eternity."

~John Piper

Ephesians 2:10

"For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."

We are told to let our light shine, and if it does we won't need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don't fire canons to bring attention to their shining ~ they just shine!

favorite scripture

“What a wonderful God we have.
He is the Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, the source of every mercy,
and the one who so wonderfully
comforts and strengthens us in our
hardships and trials.
And why does he do this?
So that when others are troubled,
needing our sympathy and
encouragement, we can pass
on to them this same
help and comfort God has given us.”
2 Corinthians 1:3-5

A Favorite Quote

My fondest hope for each one of you -- and especially for the young people here -- is that you will love your country, not for her power or wealth, but for her selflessness and her idealism. May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will make the world a little better for your having been here.

May all of you as Americans never forget your heroic origins, never fail to seek divine guidance, and never lose your natural, God-given optimism.

Ronald Reagan, 1992

"There are joys which long to be ours. God sends ten thousand truths, which come about us like birds seeking inlet; but we are shut up to them, and so they bring us nothing, but sit and sing awhile upon the roof, and then fly away."Henry Ward BeecherUS Congretional Minister1813-1887

A Thoughtful Resolution...

Do not keep the alabaster boxes of your love and tenderness sealed up until your friends are dead. Fill their lives with sweetness. Speak approving, cheering words while their ears can hear them and while their hearts can be thrilled by them.
~Henry Ward Beecher
